The Strong β-CF3 Shielding Effect in Hexafluoroisopropanol and 100 Other Organic Solvents Revisited with 17O NMR Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: An 17O NMR spectroscopy survey of more than 100 ubiquitous organic solvents and compounds, including some typical oxofluorinated solvents such as hexafluoroisopropanol, trifluoroethanol, trifluoroacetic acid, and others, is presented with D2O as a reference. A strong alternating α,β-CF3-substituent chemical shift effect was thus observed. This alternating deshielding-shielding effect is suspected to have a role in the exceptional properties of these oxofluorinated solvents, notably in oxidative cross-coupling reactions.

High-Resolution 17O NMR Spectroscopy of Structural Water.

Project description:The importance of studying site-specific interactions of structurally similar water molecules in complex systems is well known. We demonstrate the ability to resolve four distinct bound water environments within the crystal structure of lanthanum magnesium nitrate hydrate via 17O solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Using high-resolution multidimensional experiments at high magnetic fields (18.8-35.2 T), each individual water environment was resolved. The quadrupole coupling constants and asymmetry parameters of the 17O of each water were determined to be between 6.6 and 7.1 MHz, 0.83 and 0.90, respectively. The resolution of the four unique, yet similar, structural waters within a hydrated crystal via 17O NMR spectroscopy demonstrates the ability to decipher the unique electronic environment of structural water within a single hydrated crystal structure.

17O NMR Spectroscopy: A Novel Probe for Characterizing Protein Structure and Folding.

Project description:Oxygen is a key atom that maintains biomolecular structures, regulates various physiological processes, and mediates various biomolecular interactions. Oxygen-17 (17O), therefore, has been proposed as a useful probe that can provide detailed information about various physicochemical features of proteins. This is attributed to the facts that (1) 17O is an active isotope for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic approaches; (2) NMR spectroscopy is one of the most suitable tools for characterizing the structural and dynamical features of biomolecules under native-like conditions; and (3) oxygen atoms are frequently involved in essential hydrogen bonds for the structural and functional integrity of proteins or related biomolecules. Although 17O NMR spectroscopic investigations of biomolecules have been considerably hampered due to low natural abundance and the quadruple characteristics of the 17O nucleus, recent theoretical and technical developments have revolutionized this methodology to be optimally poised as a unique and widely applicable tool for determining protein structure and dynamics. In this review, we recapitulate recent developments in 17O NMR spectroscopy to characterize protein structure and folding. In addition, we discuss the highly promising advantages of this methodology over other techniques and explain why further technical and experimental advancements are highly desired.

Cost-effective 17O enrichment and NMR spectroscopy of mixed-metal terephthalate metal-organic frameworks.

Project description:17O solid-state NMR spectroscopy is employed to investigate the cation disorder in metal-organic frameworks containing two different types of metal cations. Although NMR offers exquisite sensitivity to the local, atomic-scale structure, making it an ideal tool for the characterisation of disordered materials, the low natural abundance of 17O (0.037%) necessitates expensive isotopic enrichment to acquire spectra on a reasonable timescale. Using dry gel conversion and a novel steaming method we show that cost-effective and atom-efficient enrichment of MOFs is possible, and that high-resolution 17O NMR spectra are sensitive both to the structural forms of the MOF and the presence of guest molecules. For mixed-metal forms of MIL-53, NMR can also provide information on the final composition of the materials (notably different to that of the initial starting material) and the preference for cation clustering/ordering within the MOFs. For Al, Ga MIL-53, the distribution of cations results in a mixed-pore form upon exposure to water, unlike the different structures seen for the corresponding end members. This work shows that as good levels of enrichment can be achieved at reasonable cost, 17O NMR spectroscopy should be an invaluable tool for the study of these important functional materials.

100 kHz MAS Proton-Detected NMR Spectroscopy of Hepatitis B Virus Capsids.

Project description:We sequentially assigned the fully-protonated capsids made from core proteins of the Hepatitis B virus using proton detection at 100 kHz magic-angle spinning (MAS) in 0.7 mm rotors and compare sensitivity and assignment completeness to previously obtained assignments using carbon-detection techniques in 3.2 mm rotors and 17.5 kHz MAS. We show that proton detection shows a global gain of a factor ~50 in mass sensitivity, but that signal-to-noise ratios and completeness of the assignment was somewhat higher for carbon-detected experiments for comparable experimental times. We also show that deuteration and HN back protonation improves the proton linewidth at 100 kHz MAS by a factor of 1.5, from an average of 170-110 Hz, and by a factor of 1.3 compared to deuterated capsids at 60 kHz MAS in a 1.3 mm rotor. Yet, several HN protons cannot be back-exchanged due to solvent inaccessibility, which results in a total of 15% of the amides missing in the spectra.

Studying intact bacterial peptidoglycan by proton-detected NMR spectroscopy at 100?kHz MAS frequency.

Project description:The bacterial cell wall is composed of the peptidoglycan (PG), a large polymer that maintains the integrity of the bacterial cell. Due to its multi-gigadalton size, heterogeneity, and dynamics, atomic-resolution studies are inherently complex. Solid-state NMR is an important technique to gain insight into its structure, dynamics and interactions. Here, we explore the possibilities to study the PG with ultra-fast (100?kHz) magic-angle spinning NMR. We demonstrate that highly resolved spectra can be obtained, and show strategies to obtain site-specific resonance assignments and distance information. We also explore the use of proton-proton correlation experiments, thus opening the way for NMR studies of intact cell walls without the need for isotope labeling.

Colorectal Cancer Detected by 1H-NMR Spectroscopy

Project description:The hypothesis of the present study is that metabolic phenotyping of blood plasma allows to (i) discriminate between colorectal cancer patients and control subjects and (ii) identify new biomarkers for colorectal cancer. In order to test this hypothesis, the investigators will apply proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy to perform metabolic phenotyping of blood plasma in 50 colorectal cancer patients and 50 control subjects. Multivariate statistics will be performed to assess the discriminative power of the applied methodology in distinguishing between both groups and to identify metabolites with potential as biomarkers for colorectal cancer.

High-permittivity Solvents Increase MXene Stability and Stacking Order Enabling Ultraefficient Terahertz Shielding.

Project description:2D transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) suggest an uncommonly broad combination of important functionalities amongst 2D materials. Nevertheless, MXene suffers from facile oxidation and colloidal instability upon conventional water-based processing, thus limiting applicability. By experiments and theory, It is suggested that for stability and dispersibility, it is critical to select uncommonly high permittivity solvents such as N-methylformamide (NMF) and formamide (FA) (εr = 171, 109), unlike the classical solvents characterized by high dipole moment and polarity index. They also allow high MXene stacking order within thin films on carbon nanotube (CNT) substrates, showing very high Terahertz (THz) shielding effectiveness (SE) of 40-60 dB at 0.3-1.6 THz in spite of the film thinness < 2 µm. The stacking order and mesoscopic porosity turn relevant for THz-shielding as characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The mechanistic understanding of stability and structural order allows guidance for generic MXene applications, in particular in telecommunication, and more generally processing of 2D materials.

An 17O NMR Study of Hydrolyzed Nb(V) in Weakly Acidic and Basic Aqueous Solution.

Project description:Time-dependent 17O NMR spectra of basified decaniobate (Nb10O286-) solutions displayed intense resonances assigned to the well-known protonated hexaniobate anion (Nb6O198-) and two other species identified as heptaniobate (Nb7O229-) and protonated tetracosaniobate (Nb24O7224-) anions. The decaniobate ion showed no sign of protonation from pH 6 - 10, in contrast with the hexaniobate ion which was protonated at doubly-bridging oxygen sites at pH 10-13. Most (> 90%) of the heptaniobate formed 1 h after basification was transformed into other species after 3 weeks. Tetracosaniobate was formed reversibly from decaniobate, but only when KOH, NaOH and [(CH3)4N]OH were employed; none was observed after basification with [(n-C4H9)4N]OH. Moreover, far more tetracosaniobate was formed from KOH than from [(CH3)4N]OH. This effect was attributed to a tetracosaniobate cation binding site that binds K+ more readily than (CH3)4N+ but is too small to accommodate (n-C4H9)4N+.

Wheldone Revisited: Structure Revision Via DFT-GIAO Chemical Shift Calculations, 1,1-HD-ADEQUATE NMR Spectroscopy, and X-ray Crystallography Studies.

Project description:Wheldone is a fungal metabolite isolated from the coculture of Aspergillus fischeri and Xylaria flabelliformis, displaying cytotoxic activity against breast, melanoma, and ovarian cancer cell lines. Initially, its structure was characterized as an unusual 5-methyl-bicyclo[5.4.0]undeca-3,5-diene scaffold with a 2-hydroxy-1-propanone side chain and a 3-(2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-yl)acrylic acid moiety. Upon further examination, minor inconsistencies in the data suggested the need for the structure to be revisited. Thus, the structure of wheldone has been revised using an orthogonal experimental-computational approach, which combines 1,1-HD-ADEQUATE NMR experiments, DFT-GIAO chemical shift calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis of a semisynthetic p-bromobenzylamide derivative, formed via a Steglich-type reaction. The summation of these data now permits the unequivocal assignment of both the structure and absolute configuration of the natural product.

Expanding the horizons for structural analysis of fully protonated protein assemblies by NMR spectroscopy at MAS frequencies above 100 kHz.

Project description:The recent breakthroughs in NMR probe technologies resulted in the development of MAS NMR probes with rotation frequencies exceeding 100 kHz. Herein, we explore dramatic increases in sensitivity and resolution observed at MAS frequencies of 110-111 kHz in a novel 0.7 mm HCND probe that enable structural analysis of fully protonated biological systems. Proton- detected 2D and 3D correlation spectroscopy under such conditions requires only 0.1-0.5 mg of sample and a fraction of time compared to conventional 13C-detected experiments. We discuss the performance of several proton- and heteronuclear- (13C-,15N-) based correlation experiments in terms of sensitivity and resolution, using a model microcrystalline fMLF tripeptide. We demonstrate the applications of ultrafast MAS to a large, fully protonated protein assembly of the 231-residue HIV-1 CA capsid protein. Resonance assignments of protons and heteronuclei, as well as 1H-15N dipolar and 1HN CSA tensors are readily obtained from the high sensitivity and resolution proton-detected 3D experiments. The approach demonstrated here is expected to enable the determination of atomic-resolution structures of large protein assemblies, inaccessible by current methodologies.
